Shaelyn Avalon delivers a powerful message about growing up and becoming a woman in her new single “23.” With influences ranging from music icons like Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Sheryl Crow to bands like No Doubt, she blends Pop and Rock on this deeply personal track.
Relating to The Last Unicorn
With a music video dedicated to her late mother and inspired by the enchanting book The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle, “23” uses the themes of change and longing for innocence as a metaphor for Avalon’s own coming-of-age story. Just as the unicorn Amalthea transforms into a human, the singer relates to feeling like a different person after her last relationship ended.
Through her raw, emotionally charged vocals and lyrics, Avalon invites listeners into her intimate journey in a way that will resonate with anyone navigating life’s hurdles in their early 20s.
Besides, she skillfully captures both the pain of heartbreak and the quiet strength that emerges from life’s toughest lessons.
A Make or Break Moment
Shaelyn Avalon’s personal life took a significant turn when she faced a heart-wrenching breakup. Confronted with a difficult decision, she had to choose between leaving behind everything she had worked for or following her heart. Ultimately, she made the courageous choice to prioritize her music, a smart decision that rewarded her with the best fans and led to the creation of “23.”
One of Her Finest Productions
The visuals feature a significant symbol, a ring, which represents the promise of love and the healing process. Though her path may not lead to marriage, Shaelyn wanted to express the essence of a wedding shoot, offering a relatable experience for those who have faced similar heartbreaks.
The perfect scenario on a deserted beach, riding a magical unicorn, makes this production one of the best she’s dropped to date.
Returning to Her Roots
For Avalon, “23” represents an empowering return to her musical roots in Pop/Rock styles. Listeners can look forward to more radio-friendly gems like “Mantrum” or “My Time” as she continues honing her craft and sharing relatable stories through her compositions.
With its potent message and Avalon’s impressive range of influences, “23” is sure to leave a lasting impact on everyone who has the chance to discover her art.
